Professional Roof Inspection Services
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, protecting everything you value from rain, wind, snow, and extreme temperatures. At Five Star Roofing, we understand that regular roof inspections are essential for maintaining this critical barrier and preventing costly damage before it occurs. Our certified roof inspectors bring three decades of expertise to every evaluation, ensuring you receive comprehensive assessments that help extend your roof’s lifespan and protect your investment.
A professional roof inspection involves far more than a casual glance at your shingles. Our thorough evaluation process examines every component of your roofing system, from the structural decking beneath to the flashing around penetrations and the condition of gutters and downspouts. We utilize advanced drone technology to capture precise imagery and data from multiple angles, allowing us to identify potential issues that might be invisible from ground level. This technology enables us to complete accurate roofing inspections while minimizing disruption to your daily routine and ensuring inspector safety on steep or complex roof designs.
Comprehensive Inspection Methodology
Our inspection process begins with a detailed exterior evaluation where we examine the overall condition of your roofing materials, whether you have asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, TPO, EPDM, or rubber roof systems. We look for signs of wear including cracked, curled, or missing shingles, rust or corrosion on metal surfaces, membrane punctures or seam separations on flat roofs, and deterioration of sealants around roof penetrations. Each material type has specific indicators of aging and damage that our experienced inspectors know to identify.
Inside your property, we conduct an equally thorough attic inspection when accessible. This interior assessment reveals issues that may not be visible from the exterior, such as water stains indicating active or past roof leaks, inadequate ventilation causing moisture buildup and premature shingle deterioration, compromised insulation affecting energy efficiency, and structural concerns including sagging decking or damaged rafters. The attic inspection often provides crucial insights into how well your entire roofing system functions as a cohesive unit.
Annual Roofing Inspections
Scheduling annual roofing inspections represents one of the smartest investments you can make in your property’s long-term health and value. Regular inspections allow us to track your roof’s condition over time, identifying gradual changes that might otherwise go unnoticed until they develop into major problems. We maintain detailed records of each inspection, creating a comprehensive history that helps predict when repairs or replacement might become necessary, allowing you to budget accordingly and avoid emergency situations.
During these yearly evaluations, we pay special attention to areas prone to accelerated wear, including valleys where water concentrates during rainfall, areas around chimneys and skylights where different materials meet, and sections exposed to falling branches or excessive shade that promotes moss and algae growth. By catching small issues early through consistent annual inspections, you can often extend your roof’s functional life by several years while maintaining warranty compliance and insurance coverage requirements.
Commercial Roof Inspection Expertise
Commercial properties present unique roofing challenges that demand specialized inspection expertise. Our commercial roof inspection services address the distinct needs of flat and low-slope roofing systems commonly found on business properties throughout Hempstead, Freeport, Levittown, Farmingdale, West Babylon and Babylon, NY. We evaluate drainage systems to ensure proper water flow, inspect rooftop HVAC units and their mounting systems, assess the condition of parapet walls and coping, and examine the integrity of expansion joints and roof-to-wall connections.
